Hermle C 42 U in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Hermle C 42 U

Why does Hermle use mineral casting instead of cast iron?

Mineral casting expands significantly less with temperature shifts and damps vibration up to 10 times better than gray cast iron, allowing mirror finishes and extended tool life.
